Last updated: July 27, 2026

1. Introduction

Legacy Lane Management Group LLC, doing business as Beneath the Willow Trees ("Beneath the Willow Trees," "we," "us," or "our"), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through this Privacy Policy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit or interact with our website (the "Site"), including our journal and comment/guestbook features, why we collect it, and how it is used, stored, and protected.

By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

When you interact with features on the Site, such as leaving a journal response or posting in the "I Want To Hear From You..." section, we may collect:

Your name (or any name you choose to enter, including a pseudonym)
The content of any message, comment, or post you submit
The topic or category you select for your post

You are never required to provide your real name, and we encourage you not to include sensitive personal information (such as your address, phone number, or financial details) in any public post or comment, since this content may be visible to other visitors.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, the Site may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including:

IP address
Browser type and device information
Pages viewed and time spent on the Site
Referring website or search terms

This information is generally collected through our website hosting and page-building platform and any analytics tools we may use, and is used in aggregate to understand Site traffic and improve the visitor experience.

Cookies and Local Storage

The Site may use cookies or similar technologies (such as browser local storage) to remember preferences or, where applicable, to store content you submit (such as journal responses or guestbook posts) so it can be displayed back to you or other visitors. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Site may not function properly without them.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Display journal entries, responses, and guestbook posts on the Site
Respond to comments or messages you leave, where appropriate
Maintain, operate, and improve the Site
Monitor and analyze usage and trends
Protect against fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity

We do not use the information you submit for automated marketing profiling, and we do not sell your personal information.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We may share information with:

Service providers, such as our website hosting and page-building platform, who help us operate the Site and who are contractually obligated to protect your information
Legal authorities, if required to do so by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others

Any content you choose to submit publicly (such as a journal response or a guestbook post) may be visible to other visitors of the Site, since that is the purpose of these features.

5. Data Storage and Retention

Depending on how a given feature of the Site is built, content you submit may be stored either in a database associated with our website platform or, in some cases, directly within your own browser's local storage. We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

7. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to:

Request access to the personal information we hold about you
Request correction or deletion of your personal information
Object to or restrict certain processing of your information

To make such a request, please contact us using the information below. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services, including social media platforms such as Facebook. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

10. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
